Sales and marketing expenses were $5 million.
Interest income was $2 million.
Sold equipment for $5 million that had a net book value of $9 million.
,$3 million in preferred stock issuance.

4. Calculate the company's net income.
$5.4 million
$6.0 million
$6.8 million
$7.2 million
$7.8 million - ANSWER $7,800,000
Gross Profit: 20,000,000

= Adjusted Income: 13,000,000
Tax: -5,200,000 --> (13,000,000 x 40%)
Net Income: 7,800,000
5. The next two questions use the following data from TGX Global, a
heavy equipment manufacturer (this information will be repeated on the
next question):
TGX Global sells excavators, with an average sale price of $500,000 per
excavator.
TGX received new orders for 90 excavators in 2018.
TGX produced & delivered 120 excavators in 2018: 50 excavators were
ordered in 2017 and the rest (70 excavators) were ordered in 2018.
TGX received payment for 110 excavators.
TGX began selling 1-year maintenance services contracts for $50,000
per excavator in 2018, which begin after the excavator is delivered.
Contracts were sold on 50% of all excavator orders made in 2018 (no
contracts were sold on orders placed in 2017).
, 6. Assume all excavators delivered in 2018 are delivered at year end,
calculate TGX's 2018 revenue based on the transactions described
above. - ANSWER Total Revenue: 66,000,000
Excavators delivered in 2018: 120
Price per unit: 500,000
Total Rev 2018: = 60,000,000
Maintenance service rev: 50,000 at 120 units = 6,000,000
Final total: 66,000,000
7. Assume now that instead of the revenue recognized in the previous
question, TGX recognized $50 million in revenue for 100 excavators
(and assume no maintenance contract revenue was recognized). In
addition, the following occurred in 2018:
TGX recognized $2 million in shipping and delivery costs for the
materials it uses to produce excavators.
TGX recognized $6 million in direct labor expenses.
TGX recognized $3 million in commissions paid to its salespeople for
selling the excavators.
TGX purchased $60 million in raw materials in 2018, of which $50
million was in cash.
Raw materials required to assemble each excavator cost $300,000 per
excavator.
8. Calculate TGX's 2018 gross profit based on the transactions described
above.
$(15.0 million)
$9.0 million
$12.0 million
$14.0 million
$18.0 million - ANSWER Gross Profit: 12,000,000
